This week's best NBA spot bet opportunities
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Letdown spot

Memphis will begin the second half of their season at home against the New York Knicks Tuesday. The Grizzlies will have two days off following that game before hosting the Los Angeles Clippers Friday night. Memphis will be ready for that game, especially since they lost by 20 points (101-81) on its home court to the Clippers the last time they played.

The Grizzlies will then travel to Charlotte to face the Bobcats Saturday night, putting them in a bad scheduling spot. If Memphis is able to beat the Clippers, then a letdown is likely to occur against the lowly Bobcats, especially since it will be playing on back-to-back nights.


Lookahead spot

Minnesota will play three games this week with two of those outings on the road. The Timberwolves host the Indiana Pacers Wednesday before hitting the road for games in Utah Saturday and Portland Sunday.

The Timberwolves will be focused on the Pacers and the Trail Blazers, but not the Jazz. Minnesota does catch a break with two days off prior to playing in Utah, but the much bigger game comes the next night in Portland. The Timberwolves have double revenge motivation against the Trail Blazers, after a recent 117-110 home loss. Minnesota may lack focus in Saturday night’s game against the Jazz.


Schedule spot

The Sacramento Kings have had a miserable season and they begin the second half with an 18-35 SU record. But they will be in a terrific scheduling spot Saturday when they host the Boston Celtics. Sacramento will have two days to prepare while the Celtics will be playing on a back-to-back road set and also their third game in four nights.

Sacramento will also be playing with revenge after losing in Boston 99-89 on February 7. The Kings were without their third-leading scorer in that game, as Rudy Gay sat out with the flu. While it’s true the Celtics were without Rajon Rondo, he may sit out this game as well because it will be Boston’s second game in consecutive nights.
